Do you mean to have all those changes to the local files? If not, 
something got confused in your trees.

Running 'fink selfupdate-rsync' should wipe/ignore the current package 
description files, and download a new clean copy of the .info files. 
That should eventually get you to the latest fink, which is 0.45.2-141 
for macOS 10.14 >= 10.14.5.
